The Flathead Conservation District sponsors many educational initiatives to
teach people of all ages about the importance of conserving our natural
resources. Projects can be tailored for K-14 schools, after school groups or
clubs. Adult workshops are produced in cooperation with other agencies and
organizations. Contact us to meet your education needs.
